Letter Tagul

Online Identity


I have a pretty decent stamp online if you know how to search. Just searching "Tyler Clark" is going to give you a plethora of information on several different people who are not me. However, if you search my name and possibly a location, you could find my Facebook page (although everything is private), my Twitter account (which is pretty barren), or a few news paper articles from my high school days. While the articles would seem interesting, there's really nothing you wouldn't know from my resume (accomplishments, etc.), plus you can only find them after sifting through numerous articles. It turns out, that even in a specific location, the name's Tyler and Clark are still very popular.

I'm not worried about my online footprint at all. Honestly, I almost hope there was more on me, but the truth is, even if I create more information on myself, my name is so popular that it wouldn't do much good.

Comment: Tyler, as we discussed in class, this is not really true. The key are both quantity and quality -- to distinguish yourself from any of the other Tyler Clarks out there as you craft your professional identity. I hope you have realized ways to do this as we progressed through the semester. Your EP is a major contribution that should help in the process. Best, Dr. Y

Tyler Clark and Blake Gosselin - Language Today Mini-Lesson Idea

The forum post "Isn't English a Funny Language" looks at the funny oddities that exist in the English language; things like "If teachers taught, why didn't preacher praught." We'll have students read the forum post and write a quick write where they have to come up with their own oddity in the English Language. Like if Olive Oil is made of Olives and Vegetable oil is made of Vegetables, then what is Baby oil made of.
